Orioles Obtain LF David Lough from KC

Written by Michael Williams

The Baltimore Orioles obtained outfielder David Lough from Kansas City today for DH Danny Valencia. Lough was a rookie in 2013 and led all rookies in WAR. He is defensively highly rated by advanced metrics and has caried an OBP of .349 through the minors. Lough has speed and a strong throwing arm.

Valencia is a right handed DH like Kansas City's Billy Butler. So watch for more action.
